Simple Ways to Tell Nashville Transplants From Locals

Nashville is a growing city. We’re expected to take on a million new transplants over the next couple of decades -- and you just know that all of them are going to be terrible drivers, who you can blame for construction detours messing with your morning commute, historic buildings being torn down to build another luxury high-rise, and your favorite restaurants having to shutter due to insurmountable rent prices... So here’s how to tell the born & raised from the recently repotted:

Transplants: Are fair-weather Titans fans.Locals: Have known nothing but fair weather since the Oilers.

Transplants: Complain about the humidity.Locals: Don’t wear jeans and leather jackets in June.
